'Floating Letters' by Tsuumi Sound System

10 October 2013I'm very much
enjoying 'Floating Letters', the new album by Finnish folk/rock
group Tsuumi Sound System. I reviewed 'Hotas', the previous Tsuumi
Sound System album, here in April 2008. Their music is cheery and
inspiring with a rhythmic complexity that demands syncopated
toe-tapping. At first it sounds a lot like Scottish folk but the
instrumentation, harmony and style continually shifts. Hard to
categorise but easy to enjoy. The playing is slick and impressive but
always wearing a smile. Here's a taster: http://vimeo.com/53798510
